network adapters
I have windows xp home sp1. When I go to safe mode, go to device manger, go
to network adapters it shows about 10 adapters in it. When I try to uninstall it says " Failed to uninstall the device. The device may be required to boot up computer.". I know at least 3 of them are network cards that is not in the computer. My network stopped working is why I even looked there. Any suggestions would be very helpful. Here is a list of adapters that it shows that can not be uninstalled. Network adapters: Direct Parallel 5.1.2535.0 D-Link DFE-530TX+ PCI Adapter 5.397.823.2001 D-Link DFE-530TX+ PCI Adapter - Packet Scheduler Miniport5.1.2535.0 D-Link DFE-530TX+ PCI Adapter #2 - Packet Scheduler Miniport5.1.2535.0 Realtek RTL8139 Family PCI Fast Ethernet NIC - Packet Scheduler Miniport5.1.2535.0 WAN Miniport (IP) 5.1.2535.0 WAN Miniport (IP) - Packet Scheduler Miniport 5.1.2535.0 WAN Miniport (IPX) 5.1.2535.0 WAN Miniport (L2TP) 5.1.2535.0 WAN Miniport (PPPOE) 5.1.2535.0 WAN Miniport (PPTP) 5.1.2535.0 Here is the IP report.

I have taken the network card out and it still shows all the adapters in
devise manager. In network connections it doesn't show anything. I still can't uninstall. It may be a bad adapter card but I still need these out before I put another card in don't I? Thanks Chuck and sorry about post. Yesterday was crazy, network down so I couldn't get reports from client computer to host to send to you. Then A drive went out "Chuck" wrote in message ...

Yesterday was crazy, network down so I couldn't get reports from client computer to host to send to you. Then A drive went out Rick / Deb, If the list "This connection uses the following items:" shows nothing, then that's part of the problem. The computer won't be on the network at all. My list shows: Client for Microsoft Networks File and Printer Sharing For Microsoft Networks QoS Packet Scheduler (optional) Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Your list of 10 network cards shows, among other things, "Network adapters / WAN Miniport (IPX)". IPX is a redundant network protocol. If you get your TCP/IP working properly, you don't need IPX/SPX or NetBIOS. Try again please. What is in your list? On Sparky? On Rick? When you physically remove a network card (or other device) from the computer, before removing the drivers for that card, and the bindings to the drivers, you are causing a problem. You have to remove things in this order: 1) Interfaces between application software and the drivers ("bindings"). 2) The drivers. 3) The hardware device. Do it in reverse order, and the system gets confused. Put the card back in, the system tries to load a driver for the new card, how does the system know its the same card as before? And you get "...Adapter #2", "...Adapter #3", etc. So start right now, and tell me exactly what works and doesn't. 1) Can you access the internet from the host (Sparky?)? 2) Can you access the internet from the client (Rick?)? 3) Can you share files between Rick and Sparky? And while you're answering these questions (which admittedly are redundant) PLEASE don't go pulling network cards out of either computer, or installing or un installing drivers. If we're going to solve your problems, I have to know how your computer is setup, and what is working, without you changing things during the process. And provide updated ipconfig information for each computer. Start - Run - "cmd". Type "ipconfig /all c:\ipconfig.txt" into the command window - Open c:\ipconfig.txt in Notepad, copy and paste entire contents into your next post.

I took everthing out butt what you said to leave, not thoching anything unless you say to. OK, the light is beginning to come on. So when you had IPX (on both computers?) you had file sharing. Which means that the network cards must work, and must be properly connected. That's 50% of the battle right there. So you have to connect Rick thru Sparky cause you're using a USB modem on Sparky. Yuck. But it should work with ICS. Are you running ICS on Sparky ("This computer connects directly to the internet" and "This computer provides internet service to other computers")? If you were, the D-Link should have an ip address 192.168.0.1. With ICS on Sparky, and with both network cards working and properly connected, Rick should get a suitable ip address assigned. So get ICS working on Sparky (run the wizard giving the settings above), and rerun IPConfig on both. Do you have firewalls on either computer? Now or in the past? -- Cheers, Chuck Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing. |
